shpub is awesome. I can microblog to my website from the command line! #indieweb
Publishing via micropub with shpub…
I’d like to have an org-capture template that can publish to a micropub endpoint.
140 characters is pretty stupid. McLuhan would have gone mental for Twitter.
Interesting symbolism that Docker chose for app containerisation. Historical precedent of shipping containers and standardisation paving the way for automation, job loss. Ops headed same way?

“True innovation takes at least 10 to 15 years, whereas the longest that private venture capitalists are routinely willing to wait is five years. They don’t join the game until all the riskiest plays have already been made – by governments.” — Look at the phone in your hand – you can thank the state for that
Two interesting thoughts on how social media can dampen social change. Adam Curtis on Under the Skin talks about lack of current prospects for social change, references how in (for example) the civil rights movement even the middle classes bedded in and gave over large parts of their lives for the cause. This is less likely now, as middle classes scared of what might actually have to endure to bring about real change, happy to endure relatively comfortable mediocrity. Easier to be disgusted from the sidelines over social media. Zeynep Tufecki (@zeynep) talks on Spark about the 10 years of organising that the civil rights movement put into civil action, versus the 3 months it might take a Facebook and Twitter initiated protest today. With a side effect being that the 3 month organising doesn’t have much foundation to sustain it after that initial protest.
